Never Give Up

Chapter 9 - Taylor

I couldn’t believe it when I was dragged into the basement kicking and screaming as usual, then to see Reece just sitting there tied to a chair. All the anger I had pent up just wanted out, I wanted to tear her f*****g hair out and she had the audacity to cry and beg for our release. My wolf was angry, she wanted to be released and tear everyone apart, starting with the Alpha. I knew I was no match, I hadn't even had the opportunity to even change into her.

Then, of course, Alpha had to speak and that’s when I saw her, that’s when my world came crashing down again. Just when I thought nothing more could be taken from me, when I truly believed I would get through this…unscaved for the most part.

“Please, let my Mama go. I’m begging you. I won't fight with you again. I’ll stay and be your Puppet”

Tears are flowing from my Mama and me, hell there even flowing for Reece. There’s nothing more I want to do than to crawl over to her and tell her everything is going to be okay. I know that would be a lie, though, because I know Alpha...

“Now, Angel, you know I would love to give you everything in the world. I’m just a little confused. She seems to think your name is Taylor. I tried to correct her and told her your name is Reece.”

I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw my Mama’s face. It’s white as a sheet. She mouths something, although I’m not quite sure what.

“But then, I came across Reece who is right here.” He touches her face lovingly, with more care than he has ever shown me. “And the pieces seem to fall into place, and although I punish those who feel they can lie to me and get away with it. Sometimes I can be a very generous man.” This time he touches my face, I pull it away…repulsed by his touch. He laughs and steps back next to Mama. Reece is sniffling away still, she’s supposed to be the stronger of the two of us.

“Well, Angel it’s time to say goodbye.”

Wait. What? “Goodbye? Why?” I yelled, Reece’s eyes were wide open.

I hear the sound of the blade gliding down the wood, slicing through flesh. I hear a grunt, then nothing. Looking over at the guillotine, I saw my Mama's head fall to the floor.

Holy f*****g s**t!

“What the f**k did you do?!” I screamed. “That’s my Mama. Was it not enough that you took me from her?” I turned my attention to Reece.

“This is all your fault, you did this, this is all on you. How could you, Reece, how f*****g could you?”

My body was shaking, my wolf howling in anguish as the one person who had my back was no more. I started pulling myself against my restraints. I’m glad when they finally give up and I’m free. I ran over to Alpha and started laying in some punches. He just laughs, I turn to my sobbing twin and give her a taste of my skin. The f*****g bastard has just killed my last hope of survival, and as far as I’m concerned, so did she. No one will come looking for me now. Mama didn't deserve any of this. She was caught in a web of deceit, then saw her battered and bruised daughter before finding a disgusting and immediate end. Alpha finally succeeded in cutting off all my ties to the outside world, to freedom.

I’m hysterical as I fall onto my knees, crying uncontrollably. I can feel someone moving behind me, but I’ve no idea who it is and I don't f*****g care. My whole world has just come crashing down around me, the pain in my heart causing me to scream in anguish.
